Patty Tolan, Abby Yates, and Jillian Holtzmann headed to The Mercado Hotel on foot after Ecto-1 was stolen by Slimer. Just on the lower outskirts of Times Square, they encountered a ghost parade on West 38th Street and 6th Avenue. The Captain Nemo ghost balloon doubled back and peeked at them. Holtzmann made eye contact with the Captain Nemo ghost balloon and then all the balloons came down the street to get them. The balloons chuckled and started floating towards them. Abby guessed they looked like chew toys to them. They blasted the balloons and they popped one by one as they slowly drifted towards them. They popped and puttered away. They blasted all but one apart, the Stay Puft Ghost Balloon and it landed on them. Abby groaned. Patty pointed out how absurd it was. Abby stated she couldn't reach her trigger. Holtzmann told them it was exactly how she pictured her death. Stay Puft deeply chuckled at their predicament. Erin Gilbert arrived and popped the Stay Puft with a Swiss Army Knife.

In the establishing shot of Manhattan, you can see the parade floats in the correct area of West 38th Street and 6th Avenue before the encounter takes place with the Ghostbusters.[10]

The Haunted Parade Float scene was filmed at the Franklin and Federal Street intersection in Boston evidenced by the Fidelity Investments logo on the building to the right in one shot that was not edited out.

Holtzmann claims she pictured she would die by being smothered by a giant parade float. [11]
